Wasting time

If life is a waste of time,

and time is a waste of life,

then let's all get wasted together

and have the time of our lives.

I am a studious person

Its time to divert all my concentration to studies now. The semester exams are nearing. Its on April 7th and I haven't prepared anything for it till now. I just realised that there are five subjects and i have not studied much of it. Days are gone where our staff will give the questions and we will study the answers in 1 to 2 hours. We have to study everything. That makes me cry. Anyway, I am a strong willed and confident person. And I can make it easily. So bye friends. Dont disturb me. I am studying... I said I am studying. So you too start studying....

Yeah!!! Yeah!!!! I am still here

Here is my message to everyone, who thought my blog is dead. As I was a bit busy with the college work especially the placement work, I couldnt find time to sit alone to write in the blog. Atlast, Here I am writing a short note to say

"I AM BACK"

The final

It is now or never. It is the final project presentation. The external was from Kongu engineering college. With a lot of hard work, we completed the project on the previous day only. I even designed a single setup file that will help to deploy the project in any sytem easily. One thing I didn't finish is the Project presentaion slides. I was too tired to work on it and wanted my projct mates to make it. They somehow managed to make some slides but still it is incomplete.
The worst part started when I found that I have to setup another server to show the redirection module. I wanted a system with two com ports which is only in Cisco. We went there immediately and with great luck, found one and started setting it up. I wanted to make sure that our main server is running properly. But to my worst fear came to life when I found that my project is not working. Someone have changed the date and the component we are using is expired. I thought I am lost. I felt some bad feeling in my head. i was in the height of tension. To add fuel to the fire, the external was firing questions to the students and all are standing unanswerable. He was complaining every project and he was not satisfied with most of our friends project.
I started checking the codes again and again, still couldn't find the error. Frustrated, I checked it in other system. The biggest problem I found was that my project will work only on Windows XP. We dont have any system with two com ports and Windows XP installed. I then turned to the current problem. I was working on the code tensed. our HOD came to me and asked whats the problem. When I told him what has happened, he was shocked. He was so kind to give us the permission to show our presentation at the last. After a lot of confusions and tensions, I made the code back to working in an hour. Phew! Atlast, I did it.
Our slot came only in the afternoon. When we started the presentation, Tirupur was talking first. He first started blabbering and then slowly he picked up his words properly. Even our HOD was helping us in the presentation by explaining the significance of our project. He then asked what tool did u use for text to speech. When we answered Microsoft speech, he was not convinced and compained that the speech will be of American ascent and we have to use Indian english. Again tensed about his questions, we somehow managed the situation. When we took him to show the project demo, he told us that he wanted to hear the voice. When we told him that he have to move to the next lab to hear the voice, he again complained, but this time for fun. Then he went to the next lab and heard the message. He found it interesting. He said that the first message was very clear than that of the second message. My friend replied, "sir, the first message was my voice and only the second was computer voice". We all laughed and he went out to see the next project satisfied with us.

Thanks to our HOD for helping us in finishing our project successfully.And of course, Thanks to our junior friend Gangadran for giving his modem to work on our project.

Project completed successfully. Deployment ready. Hurray!!!!!!!!

Farewell party

This time its our immediate juniors giving us the farewell party. Though the party was not of a much organized one, they called us all individually in the project centre to come to the mini auditorium. We were all busy with the project work as the final project presentation is nearing soon. Anyhow, we couldn't turn our juiors down. So we all went there and was really surprised to find all the staff and even our HOD waiting for the final years. This is the only one occasion we have made the satff waiting for the students. We happily took our seats in the front row.
The function started off with speech from our Principal and placement officer. And then the session was handed out to us. The juniors asked some of us to share a few unforgettable moments with them. I feared this will be another session that will make me feel embarrassed. Luckily, it was not so. Anoop stopped with a few words followed by many of my friends who talked only for a small time.
But we found something missing. Someone is missing. Me and Anoop were wondering about it a lot. And then we found out who it is. It is none other than Arun, so called mullu the Secretary. We want him to say a few words to our staff. So we pushed him to the stage. He was speechless for a while and then talked about the college. He was talking exactly like our college secretary. Atlast, he made his punch dialogue. Instead of wishing the students for success in their career he wished the staff for success in their future. The whole crowd started laughing.
And then came the big event. The next game was "know your campus" and Me and Rahini are called to represent the CSE department. When the game started, they were asking ridiculous questions like how many wells are there in the college or how many racks are in the library. Whatever the competition is, CSE will always be the best and this is of no exception. The question to us is "what is the total number of computers in Lab2?" for which I answered 33 correctly. Also, we answered 5 to the question, "how many water tanks are there in our campus?". I really dont know where these 5 water tanks are placed in our guess.
But with the help of my friends, we got the first place. CSE rose to the heights once again...... Our juniors wanted to do something different about the dinner. So instead of the traditional dosai or chapathi, they have ordered only puffs, cake , cool drinks and ice cream. That was really great. I helped myself with 2 puffs, 2 cakes, 1 icecream and some 3 cool drinks. It was fantastic.

But one thing, I found different was no one was emotional on that day. Maybe, everyone got matured atlast......

Thank you my junior friends for giving us such a wonderful party. Where ever we go, you will always be in our heart.

A pleasant dinner with my friend

I was in a very busy schedult today with the project still incomplete, documentation still not verified, Infosys coupons not printed, Video for slam cd not taken and of course breakfast not eaten as usual, I had a pleasant surprise tonight. Also at the right time to take me off from this hectic schedule, my sweet friend messaged me that she is coming back to Pollachi with her friend. She have already mailed me about her friend. I was reading her long mail yesterday for more than half an hour. That was touching. I realised how deep she believe in our friendship. Now today, she has brought her friend too. After a brain storming discussion with our placement officer for about 3 hours, I was exhausted. Luckily at the exact moment, there was my friend calling from her cell phone. They are coming to college in few minutes and there they came very soon. We had a chat for a while and decided to have dinner at the hotel. We had a small but delicious dinner. I was relaxed. I was happy to be put off from that heavy work. Thanks to both of my friends for helping this poor chap relax for a while.
